Abstract

GABA neurons of the cerebral cortex and other telencephalic structures are produced in the basal forebrain and migrate to their final destinations during the embryonic period. The embryonic basal forebrain is enriched in dopamine and its receptors, creating a favorable environment for dopamine to influence GABA neuron migration. However, whether dopamine receptor activation can influence GABA neuron migration is not known. We show that dopamine D 1 receptor activation promotes and D 2 receptor activation decreases GABA neuron migration from the medial and caudal ganglionic eminences to the cerebral cortex in slice preparations of embryonic mouse forebrain. Slice preparations from D 1 or D 2 receptor knock-out mouse embryos confirm the findings. In addition, D 1 receptor electroporation into cells of the basal forebrain and pharmacological activation of the receptor promote migration of the electroporated cells to the cerebral cortex. Analysis of GABA neuron numbers in the cerebral wall of the dopamine receptor knock-out mouse embryos further confirmed the effects of dopamine receptor activation on GABA neuron migration. Finally, dopamine receptor activation mobilizes striatal neuronal cytoskeleton in a manner consistent with the effects on neuronal migration. These data show that impairing the physiological balance between D 1 and D 2 receptors can alter GABA neuron migration from the basal forebrain to the cerebral cortex. The intimate relationship between dopamine and GABA neuron development revealed here may offer novel insights into developmental disorders such as schizophrenia, attention deficit or autism, and fetal cocaine exposure, all of which are associated with dopamine and GABA imbalance.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Dopamine and GABA interactions can influence proliferation, migration and synaptogenesis.

    “It has furthermore been shown that dopamine and GABA interactions can influence these processes [187, 188].”

    From Development of prefrontal cortex (2022) · cites this paper as [188]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) reports that dopamine receptor activation affects GABA neuron migration and describes dopamine’s role in neuroepithelial-cell proliferation. The Introduction (page unavailable) says GABA neurons modulate proliferation and circuit formation, but the paper does not establish that dopamine–GABA interactions influence synaptogenesis. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • In development, the balance of dopamine D1 and D2 receptor activation is critical for GABA neuron migration from basal forebrain to cerebral cortex and may contribute to developmental disorders such as autism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
